["Sesamo m." <sesamox AT hotmail.com>]

In an ancient book (early 20th century) I found this interesting paragraph. 
I wonder if the increased knowledge about Egipt makes this obsolete or it 
was too hazardous even in that time?:

"THE ABYDOS TABLET fully agrees with Genesis and is often corroborated by 
the Greek and Egyptian historians, Herodotus and Manetho. It shows Adam as 
the first Pharaoh, and Noah the twentieth, while the intermediate eighteen 
correspond with Genesis with remarkable accuracy.
Mena's wife was Shesh--Hebrew, Isha--woman. Her first son was Pharaoh 
II.--Greek, Teta-Khent--guilty one; Hebrew, Kanighi; Latin, Athos; English, 
Cain. The tablet for Abel represents him as the non-resistant one.
THE ABYDOS TABLET shows the same order as Moses (Genesis 4-6), giving first 
the line of Cain down to Jabal, who was Kakan. At that time, evidently, the 
gods and demigods began to fill the Earth with violence. Seti's list omits 
the names of these. All demigods were destroyed in the Deluge. Noah is next 
in order with a regal title. But since he was not of Cain's family, THE 
ABYDOS TABLET there goes back, mentions Abel and Seth, and Seth's line just 
as given in Genesis (untitled),
down to Noah. These all, as Pharaohs, have their royal ovals, but no 
supertitle. After Noah (Nofru), Pharaoh XX., the line runs through his son 
Ham (Chamu Chufu). Appropriately Noah's other sons are ignored; for Shem and 
Japheth went to Asia and Europe, while only Ham went to Egypt.
Thus wonderfully is the Bible being vindicated by the very inscriptions once 
supposed to contradict it."

Do you think there is something worth of consideration here?
